Whilst it could vary between who is advising you, the purpose of this article is to address the latest trend amongst lawyers and claims management companies who are increasingly using the term “100% no win no fee” for what may be somewhat misleading reasons.

The sentence has the connotation, for some, that you are being offered 100% compensation. This, however, is normally not the case.

Some people have asked us this because we do offer agreements where we don’t have to take the full 25% like most law firms do. Actually, a lot of firms charge more – either through extra deductions from percentages or through additional upfront of fixed fees.

So, because we generally offer better deals that help our client to save thousands of pounds, we have been asked if the reason for this is because we’re ‘not as good’ or whether we provide a rubbish service.

The answer is, of course, absolutely not! So read on for more information about how we do this.

A question that a lot of people ask is what exactly does No Win No Fee mean? Well, No Win No Fee is supposed to be a guarantee that if you are unsuccessful in your claim you will not be charged a penny by your law firm. A No Win No Fee guarantee is given if the law firm dealing with your case believe it’s a case they can win. At The Injury Lawyers we ONLY take on cases we think we can win so we can normally offer a No Win No Fee Guarantee. Basically, a No Win No Fee guarantee is supposed to mean that when a law firm that accepts your case and you are charged upfront costs and will write off their fees if the claim doesn’t win.

If we think we can win a claim, we might be able to offer you a no win, no fee agreement. The principle of this means that, if the claim doesn’t win, we do not charge you any fees we have incurred.

This allows people to make a claim with the safety of not having to pay a huge legal bill if it doesn’t win. After all, we cannot accurately predict from the outset whether a claim will win or not in many cases. So how does it actually work?

We can sometimes offer 100% compensation for medical negligence claims – read up here

Medical negligence claims are often very hard to win. If you have suffered whilst under the care of the NHS, it does not automatically entitle you to compensation for any pain and loss caused. It’s about proving that the duty of care that has been provided was below the expected standard, and that this has caused the suffering.

So when can we offer No Win, No Fee guarantees for Medical Negligence Claims?

We do this because it eliminates the risk of you ending up with a massive legal bill costing you thousands of pounds if you lose your case. Sometimes claims can be difficult to win, and we don’t know whether there is a good case or not until we actually pursue it.
